<h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p>The QLine class provides a two-dimensional vector using integer precision.</p>
<p>A QLine describes a finite length line (or a line segment) on a two-dimensional surface. The start and end points of the line are specified using integer point accuracy for coordinates. Use the <a href="qlinef.html">QLineF</a> constructor to retrieve a floating point copy.</p>
<p><table align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0">
<tr valign="top" class="odd"><td><img src="images/qline-point.png" /></td><td><img src="images/qline-coordinates.png" /></td></tr>
</table></p>
<p>The positions of the line's start and end points can be retrieved using the <a href="qline.html#p1">p1</a>(), <a href="qline.html#x1">x1</a>(), <a href="qline.html#y1">y1</a>(), <a href="qline.html#p2">p2</a>(), <a href="qline.html#x2">x2</a>(), and <a href="qline.html#y2">y2</a>() functions. The <a href="qline.html#dx">dx</a>() and <a href="qline.html#dy">dy</a>() functions return the horizontal and vertical components of the line. Use <a href="qline.html#isNull">isNull</a>() to determine whether the QLine represents a valid line or a null line.</p>
<p>Finally, the line can be translated a given offset using the <a href="qline.html#translate">translate</a>() function.</p>
